Street Flash is a song by Animal Collective and is the second track on their 2008 EP, Water Curses. Opening up lightly, the instrumentation on this track is pretty stripped down at the beginning as was the case with the preceding track. The interplay between the few instruments on …

This song is so delicate to me and it is so sweet in some ways it makes me want to cry. This song is about how a young girl feels lost and wishes she could be the same as some one else. The world is bigger than any of …

American punk-rock band Green Day released their latest album in 2009. 21st Century Breakdown takes the group further along their progression towards conventional, radio-friendly pop-rock, but with a more grand, “classic rock” style which gives the work a little more credibility. It has three, five-track long “acts”, …

Tri-Polar is the third album by the australian pwer-trio Sick Puppies.
As always one of the things that stays up on this album are the bass lines, some not for it’s level or difficulty, but for it’s creativity and the way it fits the song, i guess that the best …

Whenever I hear a Time Again album it reminds me of one of there biggest influences, Rancid as both lead singers have a similar vocal sound. I feel Time Again have the ability of even becoming bigger than there idols.
I’m reviewing Time Agains 1st ep of 6 tracks. Daniel …

“Tical”, Method Man’s debut album is hailed as the greatest solo release from any of the Wu-Tang Clan. The beats were gritty, dark and utterly evil. The lyrics were lyrically amazing and channeled from the dark side. Not to mention Method Man’s strange demeanor, being the “different” member of …

So happy I could die is a song on Lady Gaga’s new album, The Fame Monster. This is one of my favorite tracks on her new album. I love this song. I completely recommend this song to any Lady Gaga fans. This song is a typical Lady Gaga song …

Aaliyah
“I Care 4 U”
Aaliyah
Blackground/Virgin
Director: LIttle X
I have to ask, why bother? Seriously, this has to be the worst Aaliyah music video ever, ever, ever made. This isn’t Aaliyah’s fault though because she was already dead at the time, it’s director Little X’s fault for not coming up with something …

I really respect Mary J.Blige as a singer cum songwriter, as she has certainly come a long way from bankruptcy, and now, writing songs for this album.

The first band, House of Heroes, played a very short set (only 4 songs) and didn’t seem to catch the crowd’s attention very well. They had an energetic show, just not a lot of stage presence. I had done my homework and learned the words to some of the …

One alternative song from the 90’s that wedged in my mind. It became the official soundtrack of the movie Empire Records. The movie was weird, even the casts, that is why I will not forget about this song. Gin Blossom is an American rock band that popularly sang Hey …

Now that I’m listening to a bit more of Muse’s music I’m realizing that a lot of it actually isn’t driven by guitar very much at all, and this is quite a contrast to the music which I’m typically accustomed to listening to. Obviously Muse does have guitar parts …

As I write this, it’s Elvis Presley’s birthday. Had he lived longer, today would have been his 75th birthday. Death has not dimensioned his legacy or place on this earth, and that’s why there will always be new Elvis to buy. They’ll just keep repackaging the …

It’s odd that you would look at the performance of potentially the biggest boy band in the world and notice how much they had grown in a matter of weeks, but this is what I noticed with Take That. Only weeks before they had performed together with Robbie Williams …

A lot of people try to trash talk Miley Cyrus for being a rebellious Disney Star who has made a lot of mistakes in the public eye by posting really bad pictures of herself on public social networking sites. Although I do not think Miley Cyrus is a great …

Mastodon is literally not your average Metal band. In our American wasteland of poor excuses for Metal(with the exception of Tool, Deftones, System of a Down, a small handful of other exceptional bands), Mastodon reigns supreme as one of the top bands to emerge from America’s underground scene. Usually, …

The Spontaneous Combustion Of John is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on the band’s third effort, Telepathic Surgery. Opening up with a dark clean guitar riff right from the start, a lead guitar enters the track and comes in now and then which does a nice …

This is a very beautiful record. Its beauty is very fine and well crafted. After you listen to this album for the first time, you might think that this record is not very rich in content, but in that case, you would be wrong, since this music is such …

At this time, many old bands who started releasing albums. Is this just a proof, that they still exist or that their creativity is still there? One of them is MSG. When I first listened to 12 songs in this album, in passing, I had felt strange. Overall, beat …

Electric Funeral is a song by Black Sabbath which appears on their second record, Paranoid. Opening up with an iconic Tony Iommi riff which has a heavy wah-effect, the band goes for a simple sound, but a sound which they certainly make sound quite dark and heavy. Though I …

This album is fantastic. This record sold really well and it is considered one of the most important music albums of the 1990s. I like this album. I think that it contains very catchy songs, songs with quite strong melodies.
However, I do not appreciate the arrangements of this album …

Hed PE are a very talented band. Most of their music is not for everybody, but for people who like hardcore metal and rap core. But, this album can be accessible to a much larger audience. On this album, like on no other album the guys from this California …

There’s nothing like a feel good country song. I love the song Country Comforts. I first heard it when Rod Stewart sang it and I loved that version. I wasn’t even beginning to love it until I heard Keith Urban’s version. He has a wonderful voice that fits perfectly …

When The Weeknd released his mega-hit “Earned It” earlier this year, (it was included in the elusive Fifty Shades soundtrack) I never really cared. In fact I hate that song, yes, until now. It wasn’t just my type of music and I was certainly surprised when everyone else I …

The first time that I saw or even heard of the rapper “Lil’ Mama” was a few years ago when she released her first hit song “Lip Gloss”. Even though I was not interested in hip hop music, rap and most of the mainstream music around that particular time …

New, New Minglewood Blues is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their self-titled debut record. This track is a cover but it sounds as if The Dead certainly add their own character and style to this track. The song opens up with a lighthearted moving guitar …

This is the fourth album by the international successful pop group the Backstreet Boys. This is also their last album before the group broke up (before the current re-union). I have really waited for that album, thinking about how wonderful it was going to be. I must mention that …

There are certain recording artists whose music is criticized by many of the people who consider their own taste in music to be very well refined. Ke$ha so happens to be one of those artists. As a pop star, she has found a lot of success, but she has …

I really like this song. It’s absolutely the real thing that’s happening nowadays. I love how Christina sang this song which really gives justice to women. Even before women are being underestimated. They said that because we are women we cannot do this, we cannot do that. Other people …

Enter Sandman, the opening track of Metallica’s fifth record, is probably the one Metallica song which is the most well-known from either fans or just listeners and probably has one of the most recognizable riffs in metal, ironically written by Hammett and not Hetfield. I don’t want to get …

This is a greatest hits collection of songs from Type O Negative. The album was hastily thrown together and released with a generic album cover, and without the consent of the band, Roadrunner Records had the right to do it, so they did. This collection could be the reason …
